8 Items We Love in our Novotel Manila Araneta Center Staycation

We live near Araneta Center, Cubao. It has been a wonder what the experience would be in this newly developed 4-star hotel. Our 3-star staycation hotel last month was a mess. So, we thought of upgrading our lifestyle for one more star.

We have attended two conferences held in the Monet room of Novotel Araneta Center. First was the 2017 Asia-Pacific Rim Universities Program Conference attended by many foreign students and health professionals. Some of them are our Facebook friends already such as Ms. Sarah Rooke from the University of South Wales. Second was the Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange Students and Youths (JENESYS) Alumni Mini-reunion. We were the first batch of Filipino youth who visited Japan under the program. We are very grateful that after a decade the Japanese Government sponsored this kind of event.

6.) Workdesk

We have fast wifi and comfortable space to do our tasks!

7.) Binibining Pilipinas Candidates

We wonder if the bathrobe in our closet was worn by one of the Binibining Pilipinas candidates. The 2018 candidates are in the hotel when we did our staycation. You probably still have the chance to see them there if you check-in before March 18. Our favorite would be Candidate no. 4 Ms. Ana Patricia Asturias who warmly hosted us in her cafe when we did our Tacloban trip.

8.) Araneta Center Sunset

We love watching sunsets from different places. Watching the sunset from our hotel room gives us an additional perspective of the Philippines.

To end, we hope we could go back. We can try other stuffs like the lunch buffet or dinner buffet of the Food Exchange Manila, pool parties in the 6th Pool Bar and Lounge, candle light dinner near the Bridal Garden, their signature spa massage, or watching the sunrise from other rooms.

We would like to thank Ms. Mariangela Silvestre, Director of Digital Marketing of Novotel Manila Araneta Center for giving us a luxurious experience that certainly inspire more travellingpeoples.

This is a very nice hotel, I may steer clear of this one though ‘coz very pricey but I can see it’s good for when you have extra cash to burn. I cannot get over the see-through shower though, and extra cookie points for you for modelling hahaha.
